My tried and true "no recipe" is as follows:brown some hamburger in a frying pan, and chuck it in the crockpot. Throw in some chopped onions, and chopped red and green peppers. Add a can each of pineapple tidbits, red kidney beans, and tomatoes (larger can than the others), and a can of mushrooms if you like. Break up the tomatoes with a wooden spoon, or buy diced tomatoes. Add a bottle of ketchup and some barbecue sauce, some black pepper, a little garlic powder, and some chili powder (a tablespoon or two, to taste). For extra heat, add some red pepper flakes and/or Tabasco or Frank's Red Hot sauce. Cook on high or low until it's hot and you're hungry (the longer it stews the better!). Add water if needed. If you have a big crockpot, double the quantities.Don't worry about any specific quantities of anything - it's hard to mess up!Keep it on low until you have finished it all, or put the crock in the fridge, and nuke the leftovers a bowl at a time.

Me love Chili.Anyway brown say 1-2 pounds ground beef, then 2 onions, 3-4 celery stocks, garlic to your liking all chopped and fried for a few minutes. 1 large can whole tomatoes or if you like, chopped.1 can of your fav. spaghetti sauce. I use hunts 4 cheese.2-3 tbls chili powder. 1 tbls paprika.1 tbls beef stock pwder.Let simmer for the day. I add 1 can black beans near to eating time so they don't turn to mush (wash first). Kidney would be fine as well.Yummers

Ground beef, canned tomatoes, tomato paste, onions, kidney and chickpeas, one bottle of beer, one can of coke, one tablespoon of coffee grounds or instant coffee, NO canned spaghetti sauce. A couple of anchovies if you have them.
